Zensar is mentioned in Gartner ‘Competitive Landscape: Consulting and System Integration Service Providers for Robotic Process Automation’
Press Release | 12 Sep 2018
Pune, India, September 12, 2018: Zensar, a leading digital solutions and technology services company that specializes in partnering with global organizations across industries on their Digital transformation journey, announced that it has been recognized in the (*) Gartner ‘Competitive Landscape: Consulting and System Integration Service Providers for Robotic Process Automation’ [ID: G00367111] authored by Gartner Analysts Arup Roy , Cathy Tornbohm (Published Date: 9 August 2018)
This research focuses on the key competitive dynamics, how future RPA service providers will evolve and what technology product managers should do about it. Zensar is listed as one of the Representative Vendors in the report.
The key findings from this Research are as follows: (*)
- Most providers have a nondifferentiated offering and competitive positioning. A one-size-fits-all process for RPA methodologies and services is not suitable or differentiated; clients want industry-specific automation strategies and hand holding
- Building a business case to evaluate the business benefits of RPA and justify investments is challenging. Often, the lack of a solid business case is the key challenge for the long-term roadmap and scalability of RPA projects
- Buyers’ preference to set up a COE and execute RPA on their own is a threat and may thwart the growth of RPA services for providers
Key recommendations (*)
To exploit IT service market dynamics, technology product managers responsible for RPA and automation services should:
- Build industry-based process maturity models for front-, middle- and back-office activities to illustrate where RPA could be used, and lay out the automation alternatives. Use these to upsell more complex machine-learning-led automation projects
- Build reusable business case diagnostics working with process mining and discovery tools to evaluate and accelerate important business outcomes, such as time to market, operational efficiency, cost savings and improved productivity for high-value resources
- Develop tiered solution offerings to help clients’ COE endeavors by offering COE setup and governance consulting services, process automation discovery services, frameworks for scalable RPA technology selection, and managed services for RPA.
